[Carolinas Identity*]

I get that homers gonna homer, but ffs, ray ferraro is insufferable

 

[Iceman]

Well, he looked ill when sitting there in the crease. Stomach bug I guess.

 

[Pi]

They will. They have a long way to go to make an NHL team.

I have watched guys like Kempe and Rantanen play in the AHL this year and they are miles ahead of guys like Strome and Marner

Can't judge players on 3-4 games with a terrible coach. Raantanen looks like **** in the WJC right now.

 

[topshelf15]

William Nylander has been injured for essentially the whole tourney so far, has played part of one period, so I've really got no idea what you're talking about here.

He will be in the ahl or the nhl ,he has nothing left to show or do at this level

Strome and Marner probably won't be there.

As a Leafs fan I hope Marner is NOT with the Leafs next year.
We don't need to rush the kid.

 

[DFF]

Virtanen is such a frustrating player. Does a great job by creating some space and then takes an awful shot.

Mitch the Destroyer is now Mitch the Puck Punisher

Take over Marner, take over.

JV had a guy wide open in front and decided to keep the puck and circle behind the net.

This play actually blew my mind... I was thinking "even jake will see that guy open"... Which he might have but opted for a 1/100 lazed shot instead

 

[DamonDRW]

Canada is pathetic. Their passing game is non-existent.

 

[shootscores]

I think Canada is skillfully masking how good they really are. Everyone in the tourney thinks Canada is this amazing opponent going in, and we are not showing them anything. They are boosting all teams confidence by intentionally playing so poorlythat when we get to the medal round we will shock the H__L out of them.

Or maybe we really are terrible

 

[Striiker]

Hicketts has 3 pts now and scored a huge goal last game. Sanheim still rocking the big 0 across the board even with his PP time

Oh Hicketts has more points in his likely 10x more icetime than Sanheim and infinitely better opportunities (majority of PP time, playing with the top line, Ozone starts)? That's crazy! Great analysis, Classic.

Shocking that Sanheim isn't outscoring him with his scrap icetime.

 

[EK65IsAGod]

the hate is evident in this one

I'm glad we scored, just every leafs poster saying the same comment of 'Marner scored! but i thought he was terrible!!1!'. It's kinda funny the first time, not the 50th.

I get that homers gonna homer, but ffs, ray ferraro is insufferable

You mean when he said that the penalty to Sweden shouldn't have been called?

Try listening to Jack Edwards and then get back to me.

 

[sansabri]

Pull the goalie.

 

[Urgi]

JFK is impressing me more and more

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Did Soderstrom pull himself?

 

[86Habs]

Haven't seen Konecny for a while. Interesting.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

You'd think down by 2 with 2 minutes left CAN would throw their best offensive players out there and go for broke

 

[topched88]

Joe Colbourne II

Not similar players in my opinion.

 

[topshelf15]

As a Leafs fan I hope Marner is NOT with the Leafs next year.
We don't need to rush the kid.

They wont he is a dynamic looking player ,he needs to develop .Give half this team a year of development ,and it should be very good next tourney

 

[Classicnamesup]

Such a disappointing game. Last game vs Sweden there was scoring chances all over the place, Canada barely had any this game and SWE were basically only on the PP. Was hoping this game would bring the entertainment like the last game

 

[The Winter Soldier]

As a Leafs fan I hope Marner is NOT with the Leafs next year.
We don't need to rush the kid.

He really needs to get a growth spurt. He looks the same size as he was in the OHL playoffs. I don't think it would serve him well to play in the NHL at his current weight and strength.

 

[BruinsBtn]

The quality of this game is 10% of the Czec/Finn game.

 

[Peasy]

A 5on3 goal doesn't excuse that he's been trash all game

If Marners been trash all game, then what has Virtanen and Point been

 

[John Agar]

Haven't seen Konecny for a while. Interesting.

Interesting is not the word I would use...

Disgusting is

 

[carlweezer*]

How the **** was Virtanen drafted 6th overall?

40 goal Jr scorer that hits like Mack truck and a mean streak. Simple.

Wait till he actually grows into his body and get his man strength. Scouts aren't paid to predict how prospects develp when they are 19. They need to have the foresight for when a player is 22.
